Hyderabad, Mar 4: Film actress and MP Jaya Prada announced her decision to contest from Rajahmundry. She said she would contest to Lok Sabha from there.
Though she has not said from which party she would contest, it is being presumed that she would be the YSR Congress party's candidate as she was all praise for the late Chief Minister Dr. Y S Rajasekhara Reddy.
Stating that she was not against Telangana, she said she was however an integrationist.
Jaya Prada has affirmed that it was due to the welfare schemes undertaken by late YSR that the state had developed. Though she said she liked the programmes of YSR very much, she did not say from which party she would contest. She said would make that announcement in Rajahmundry. She lamented that there was no Telugu girls on the Tollywood screen now.
It may be recalled that Jaya Prada was an MP of the TDP when Chandra Babu Naidu was the Chief Minister. She also served as the Telugu Mahila chief. However, she left TDP and the state after she allegedly developed differences with Naidu. She joined the Samajwadi Party and was elected to Lok Sabha from that party. Recently he and her mentor Amar Singh were expelled from the SP after the latter developed differences with the SP Supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav. Though Amar Singh launched a party, it could not create any impact in the last elections.
